MC_GearOut

PLCopen motion icon

Function Block - Disengages the slave axis from a MC_GearIn or MC_GearInPos move or the master axis.

This function block:

Aborts the active MC_GearIn or MC_GearInPos move.
Disengages the axis from its master.
Commands the axis to continue at its current velocity.
See Function Blocks - General Rules about how inputs and outputs work.

- This function block starts a motion-related action and stores data for calculations and error checking.
- If using a dual-core controller, see Program a Multi-Core Controller.

The current velocity is calculated by taking the average of the actual velocity during the previous 16 cycles.

The control continues to command the axis to move at this velocity until this MC_GearOut move is aborted.
The Acceleration, Deceleration, and Jerk input parameters are applied if this command velocity is modified by the MC_SetOverride function block.
If this function block is called, and the active move is not a MC_GearIn or MC_GearInPos move, this function block returns an error and the active move is not aborted.

- The MC_GearOut is done when the slave axis is disengaged from the master axis.
  - Once done, the MC_GearOut remains busy and active until it is aborted by a different motion function block.
- This is different behavior than most other motion function blocks.
  - The MC_GearOut function block represents an exception to the exclusivity rule as the Done and Active outputs may be true at the same time.

Inputs

Input	Data Type See Data Types.	Range	Unit	Default	Description
Execute	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	No default	On the rising edge, request to disengage the slave axis from a MC_GearIn or MC_GearInPos move.
Slave	AXIS_REF	1 to 256	N/A	No default	Name of a declared instance of the AXIS_REF library function. See Axis Name and Number. See AXIS_REF Structure.
Acceleration	LREAL	No range	User units / sec²	No default	Trapezoidal: Acceleration rate. S-curve: Maximum acceleration. See S-curve and Trapezoidal Acceleration / Deceleration.
Deceleration	LREAL	No range	User units / sec²	No default	Trapezoidal: Deceleration rate. S-curve: Unused. See S-curve and Trapezoidal Acceleration / Deceleration.
Jerk	LREAL	No range	User units / sec³	No default	Trapezoidal: 0 (zero). S-curve: Constant jerk. See S-curve and Trapezoidal Acceleration / Deceleration.

Outputs

Output	Data Type See Data Types.	Range	Unit	Description
Done	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates the axis is disengaged from its master.
Busy	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates the function is executing.
Active	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates this move is the Active move.
CommandAborted	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	If TRUE, the command was aborted by another function block.
Error	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates either: An invalid input was specified. No MC_GearIn or MC_GearInPos move is active.
ErrorID	INT	No range	N/A	Indicates the error if Error output is TRUE. See PLCopen Function Block ErrorIDs.
